Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle says he plans to recommend an increase in hunting and fishing license fees in his next state budget, and may also call for raising the $55 fee for car registrations. Doyle says that some of the state's hunting and fishing fees have not been raised in years and provide revenue for habitat protection.
"I think you're going to see a modest increase, as we've proposed before, in hunting and fishing fees," Doyle said.

He didn't give any exact numbers for the increases he would recommend, but did say a modest increase in the vehicle registration fee may be proposed. That fee was raised in October 2003 from $45 to $55 a year.

The governor said he would not recommend increasing the state gasoline tax, which already is one of the nation's highest.
